    !MARRIAGE: Pittsylvania Co VA record

    James Devin, first child and 1st son of Wm. Devin Jr. and Martha Devin, was born May 15, 1781. In 1811, he married Temperance Cox, the daughter of James and Julia Handkins Cox. Soon after this marriage, James and Temperance Devin settled in the lower part of Henry County very near the Pittsylvania line. James was a man who possessed much mathematical genius. He followed the trade of house carpenter as well as cabinet maker for a number of years. He was a man of some literary taste and acquirement, and yielding to the wishes of the community in which he lived, he engaged a good deal of his time in teaching school. He was a successful teacher, and a large part of his later life was devoted to that profession. He died August 11, 1854. His wife died in 1867. Both were members of the Baptist church.
    To James and Temperance Devin were born six children: Elizabeth J. born 1814; William born 1812, d. 1819; James A. And Sarah G. (twins) born 1817; Robert I. born 1822 and John C. born 1831. In 1881 . . . quoting Robert Ira Devin's letter: "All are dead except Elizabeth, Robert and John". Last address given by Robert I. who was a Baptist Minister was Youngs Road, Grandville County, North Carolina. (The Devin Family; Hoffstetter, Dessa; page 4.)

    Per Hist. of Gibson Co IN p 452: DOB = 12 Mar 1771

    "The Devin Family", on page 37, says Susan is the daughter of Edward and Mary Wade Nowlin of Virginia. However, on page 2, a quote from the will of Bryan Ward Nowlin says Sucky is his daughter. Research by Anna Hudelson [Nowlin-Devin missive; 1929-1977] shows Edward Nowlin and Mary Wade to be the parents of Bryan Ward Nowlin; Susans paternal grandparents.

    [From Michigan Historical Society Records, Vol. 11 page 17 (found on Ancestry.com 09.Dec.2005)]
    After a long illness, Mark S. Hitchcock died at his residence, No. 506 West Main street, Oct. 18, 1886, in the 66th year of his age. Some weeks ago Mr. Hitchcock was stricken with typhoid fever, but had nearly recovered, when a severe cold developed a chronic urinary trouble which ended his life.

    Mark S. Hitchcock was born in Ontario county, New York, in 1821, his parents, Manly and Chloe Hitchcock, being natives of Waterbury, Conn. They moved to Lorain county, Ohio, in 1824, and lived in Cleveland until their death. While a youth Mark Hitchcock worked on a farm summers and attended district school winters until he married Miss Polly Morgan, at the age of twenty years, and then engaged in buying and shipping live stock for several years, after which he embarked in the grocery business, which he followed in connection with farming until 1864, when he was elected sheriff of Lorain county and held the office for four years. He removed to Jackson county in 1868 and purchased the farm three miles north of this city, which he owned until last year, when he sold it to Charles R. Durand, and bought the store, No. 188, in the Durand block. In 1879 he bought the hardware stock of Rice & McConnel in this city and managed it one year in partnership with his son-in-law, George W. Fifield, who then sold out and a new firm was organized January 1, 1880, with M. S. Hitchcock, Reuben E. Clark and Charles S. Hitchcock as partners. Three years later Mr. Hitchcock sold his interest in the business and the firm became Clark, Helmer & Houk, who conducted the business a years and then transferred it back to M. S. Hitchcock & Co., the present firm. In 1880 Mr. Hitchcock purchased an interest in the Eureka Coal Co. and was elected superintendent and treasurer the same year.

    Mr. Hitchcock’s first wife died in May, 1854, leaving five children, and two years later he married Mary A. Bush, of Lorain, Ohio, who survives him.

    During his illness all of Mr. Hitchcock’s children were at his bedside, but, with the belief that he was recovering, his son Henry returned to his home in Nebraska some days ago, and his daughter, Mrs. Henry Kennedy, returned to her home at Tougaloo, Mississippi. The other children are Wallace W. Hitchcock, grocer, of 504 North Blackstone street; Mrs. George W. Fifield, 420 Williams street; Mrs. David Town, of Blackman; Charles S. Hitchcock, [p.69] No. 240 West Main Street, and Miss Clara, who resides with her parents.

    Henry S. Hitchcock Biography


    HENRY S. HITCHCOCK, one of the first to settle in Richland township, is now one of the substantial agriculturists of that portion of Edmunds county. His success has been due to his own perseverance and good management, and his efforts have not been expended for his own good alone but for the upbuilding of the better interests of his community. He is one of the prominent citizens of that region, and takes an active part in matters pertaining to the growth of the thriving district where he chooses to make his home. He is an ex-soldier who may well be proud of his army record, and no soldier ever served his country with a more loyal heart or earnest effort. Mr. Hitchcock has a fine estate, and his home farm is the southeast quarter of section 22, in Richland township, Edmunds county. Here he is passing his declining years enjoying the peace and comforts of a pleasant home.

    Our subject was born in Eaton township, Loraine county, Ohio, January 17, 1839, and was the eldest in a family of five children, two sons and three daughters, born to Mark S. and Polly (Morgan) Hitchcock. The
    paternal grandfather of our subject, Manly Hitchcock, was of English descent, and the maternal grandfather, Ira Morgan, was a native of Connecticut, and both were by occupation farmers. The parents of our subject were married in Loraine county, Ohio, and the father was a farmer during the greater part of his life, but engaged in the hardware business during the last years of life at Jackson, Michigan.

    Our subject was reared on a farm and had little school advantages, those early days affording the country pupil a limited education. Mr. Hitchcock engaged in farming in 1869 in Ohio and afterward went with his family to Bloomingdale, Michigan, and was a farmer there for sixteen years. The farm was well improved, consisted of fifty acres; a small stream running through the land afforded good water for stock,
    and an orchard of one hundred and fifty trees with small fruits in abundance made a model farm, but sickness visited the family and three children and the wife our subject died while there and the health of
    Mr. Hitchcock was failing. He went to Edmunds county, South Dakota, in 1882 and located on his present farm.

    He erected a ten by twelve shanty and was his own housekeeper for two years, at the end of which time the family joined him in the new home. He had a small house erected, and a barn and granary and the
    improvements on the property had already begun. When he located in Dakota Richland township was the extreme western limit of the surveyed land, and all supplies were hauled from Aberdeen, eighteen miles
    distant. Our subject now possesses one hundred and sixty acres of land, and cultivates about one hundred and fifty acres. He engages mostly in raising small grains, but is interested to some extent in the raising of cattle and horses.

    Mr. Hitchcock enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Third Ohio Infantry, July 22, 1862, and spent the winter of 1862 -63 in Frankfort, Kentucky, and the following summer went through Tennessee and Kentucky after Morgan's men. Many skirmishes and active duty kept them on the move through the summer of 1864, and the winter following our subject was taken ill with typhoid fever at Louisville, Kentucky. He was discharged early in 1865 and went back to old home.

    Our subject was married in 1859 to Sophia Hamlin, a native of Dover, Ohio. Three sons and one daughter were born of this union. Mrs. Hitchcock died July 2, 1870. Our subject remarried, Miss Annie Graham
    becoming his wife August 20, 1871. Mrs. Hitchcock is a native of Preble county, Ohio, and was born in 1847. Her grandfather, James Graham, was a native of Virginia. Her father, Joseph Graham, was a harness maker by occupation, and the mother died when Mrs. Hitchcock was but twelve years of age, after which the family was broken up and she was thrown on her own resources for a livelihood. She was reared in Morning Sun, Ohio, and there received her education. Two children, a son and a daughter, have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock, as follows: Fred S. and Ella C. Our subject has been called upon to fill various local offices, and has given his service freely, and for the good of all. He has been a member of the town board two years, of the school board nine years, and seven years has acted as assessor. He has been a delegate to many county conventions and advocates the principles of the Republican party.
